■SHUMAKER TO CONTINUE FIGHT AGAINST LONGER TERM

li. S. APPEAL PREPARED BY DRYJfAGUER Gilliom’s Motion Is Taken Under Advisement by Supreme Court. Attorneys for the Rev. E. S. Shumaker, Indiana .Anti-Saloon League superintendent, today were preparing to start an immediate appeal to the United States Supreme Court in case the State Supreme Court increases the Shumaker contempt sentence. The court took the motion of Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom to increase the sentence under advisement late Monday after hearing evidence all day. Early decision is not expected as the court calendar is clogged with important cases including the D. C. Stephenson appeal. Contention in the Shumaker appeal to the national bench will be that the dry leader was a member of the press when he wrote his 1925 report in which he charged that certain Indiana Supreme Court justices were “wet” and Had in thendecisions favored the. “liquor loving element.” Says Watson “In Error” He was fined $250 and sentenced to sixty days on the prison farm when tried on the contempt charge last August. With unearthing of correspondence between him and Senator James E. Watson, Attorney General Gilliom felt that his sentence should be increased. Wide sweeping statements of “false,” “untrue,” “ip. error” were made by the dry chief in his crossexamination which was the high point of the day’s proceedings. He branded as “false” parts of Senator Watson’s sworn deposition, substantiated by.fcitffijw* Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson, Mjhich ran counter to "his own story. The portions denied, according to Attorney General Gilliom, deafly pointed out that Shumaker threat- ' ened the Republican party with loss of the organization’s support if “speedy and favorable action” were not taken in his behalf. Shumaker categorically denied that he had asked Watson to call together the Republican State committee for the purpose of passing resolutions and taking steps in his behalf. While on the stand he told the court that Watson in a telephone conversation last summer said that “he already had talked to three of the judges unfavorable to him.” This was in direct denial of Watson’s deposition. The dry chief denied that he had asked Watson to bring influence to bear, either directly or indirectly, upon the court and so obtain either a light sentence or his acquittaL Denies Walb’s Testimony Shumaker branded as "false” the statement on the stand of Clyde Walb, chairman of the State Republican organization, in which the latter stated that at a meeting at La Grange, the dry head had been willing to sell both the Anti-Saloon League and the Methodist Episcopal Church “down the river” in order to escape scot free from the contempt case. Asa surprise feature the defense brought Gilliom to the stand as the first defense witness but was unable to make much headway questioning him. Senator Arthur Robinson, Clyde Walb and the Rev. G. F. Hubbartt, pastor of the M. E. church at Aurora, were questioned by the State during the morning session. “Here we have a man, in furtherance of what he calls a righteous cause, attempting to destroy the one thing we have left in Indiana,” said Solon J. Carter, attorney assisting Gilliom, in argument after evidence was completed. ‘“That is an incorruptible court. One thing Indiana has left is the fact that her courts are incorruptible. The duty of the court is to let the public know that no man can bring influence to bear on this court.” James Bingham Sr., attorney for Shumaker, contended that precedent holds Shumaker purged himself of contempt of’Supreme Court, when he stated under oath that he is innocent. The only proper action left in such a case would oe perjury if it were shown that the defendant had not told the truth in such statement of innocence, he argued. “It is inconceivable that when the respondent went to see the two United States Senators that he did not seek favorable action. His ac4ion otherwise, would have been ? contrary to human nature,” argued Attorney William S. Thompson, another Gilliom assistant.

BY HOLLY BERRY (Special Times Correspondent In E.kimoland) NORTH POLEVILLE. ESKIMOLAND,, Nov. 22.—(8y radio)—We have seen Santa Claus’ library! Taken the beautiful books, in which Santa Claus keeps a record of 25,000,000 children, down from their shelves and examined them! Read names of many Indianapolis children written there! Santa Claus told us we are the first persons from the outside world to enjoy this privilege. If you saw the heavy doors, with enormous iron bars, that separate this big room from the rest of Santa’s palace, I am sure you would believe it. Has Fairy Helpers - Evdry night hundreds of Santa’s little fairy helpers go through every name and bring the record of each boy and girl down to the minute. I am sure you would be interested in the code they use in describing good ani bad actions of boys and girls. Os course, they -don’t write life we do. If they want to write “cat” they don’t spell it out C-A-T, they draw a picture of the fluffiest little cat you ever saw. They are so expert that it doesn’t take longer than it takes to spell it. Santa told a funny story of what happened one night because of this code. An Indianapolis boy had washed his face every day for two months. Mypa, a fairy that writes down good actions, thought he deserved special mention. He drew his picture in the book with the face nice and clean. Fairies are mischievous, you know, as soon as Mypa had his back turned, Ahkla, a very mischievous one, closed the book before the ink

was dry. Os course, that made the face look dirty. / Brings Santa Trouble Santa told us, with a chuckle, that he had a terrible time the books balance that night. There was one too many dirty faces, according to the books, than showed on the day’s record. They had to start at the beginning and go all over that huge library of books until they came to the Indianapolis boy’s record. “We probably wouldn’t have noticed the mistake then except for the blot on the other page, we never allow blots in these records, you know,” Santa said proudly. Since then there are signs all over the room: “DO NOT CLOSE BOOKS UNTIL WRITING DRIES, By Order of Santa Claus..” I got a glimpse of some names that might interest Indianapolis boys and girls. Anew set of entries

FIRE LOSS CUT BY $1,000,000, REPORTSHOWS Number of Blazes in Cities Decrease; Others Took Upward Swing. Indiana fire losses were $1,000,000 less in the year ending Nov. 1 than they were in 1926, according to Alfred Hogston, State fire marshal. During the same period city fires decreased noticeably in numbers, but country fires were slightly more numerous. “The reduction was due largely to the fact that people are becoming educated in methods of fire prevention, and are taking greater care in handling and storing combustibles,” Hogston said. Education Work Pushed “Fire fighting equipment also is being constantly and residences and business buildings are being constructed of noncombustible materials to a much greater degree than formerly.” The fire marshall praised the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation for its assistance in disseminating educational matter on fire prevention and also approved similar work being done among the school children of the State. "It is interesting to note,” he continued, “that while fires in the southern part of the State outnumbered those in the north almost two to one, the fire loss is just about equally divided. There are several reasons for this. South Sparsely Settled “The southern districts are handicapped by a sparse population, resulting in homes being more scattered and less able to aid one another in case of fire. In some cases there is also a lack of adequate water supplies and a dearth of modern fire fighting equipment. “Incendiary fires are much more frequent south than north,” he added.

Bebe Daniels Is Financial Power

Bebe Daniels . . . “spends her money, but not foolishly.”

HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Nov. 22.—A new financial power has arisen in Hollywood to challenge the sway of Doug Fairbanks and Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin and Ruth Roland. . __ " Bebe Daniels, combining beauty and business, is the headliner in this drama of counting house and ledger, piling profits upon profits. Iron after iron has been placed in the fire by the coltile Bebe, and now comes the news that she had added a circulating library to her list of enterprises.

She is now constructing the building of her own design in the exclusive residential section of Beverly Hills, the real'film center. “As soon as the building" is finished, I am going to fill the shelves with books of q>y own selection,” declares the actress “We will charge a fee as it is strictly a business venture.” “One might think that film folk would not be good customers for a library—that they would buy the books they want. But they don't. They don’t spend their money on things of that sort.” Miss Daniels’ library is only the latest of her long string of business enterprises. When she first started
